Default HID Conversion kit

Has anyone boughten one of these for our generation? i was just wondering if our headlights have the cut offs in them so they dont blind on comming traffic.

our headlamps are projector style so they look fine and don't blind.

they are still bright, since the projectors (well atleast in the aristo) aren't the greatest.

they do have a cutoff line, it's just not as nice and fancy as the new model lexus' , bmw's and what not.

you'll be fine with them as long as they're aimed right

I have them on mine too. I like them, but they dont seem any different than the stock ones. I plan to do the TSX retrofit someday. But for 75bux for the kit I cant complain. I bet regular silverstars would out do the HID's i have.

HID's for the win!

to me it was probably the best upgrade i did to my car.it makes driving at night a lot more safer.
